Who is St.George Bank?

St.George is one of Australia's best-known bank brands, a former building society that became a bank in 1992 and joined the Westpac Group in 2008 in what was then Australia's largest banking merger. Its dragon logo and NSW heartland have made it the group's biggest sub-brand.

St.George prices its own home-loan range separately from parent Westpac, alongside sister brands Bank of Melbourne and BankSA which share much of the same product set under their own local badges.

Who suits a St.George Bank home loan?

St.George tends to suit borrowers, particularly in New South Wales, who want big-bank product breadth with a challenger-brand feel and pricing. Because the same group products appear under Westpac, Bank of Melbourne and BankSA, compare across the group and against the sharpest rates in the table above before settling on a brand.
